Are there any future plans to produce Red Shadows and/or Action Force figures into either the Pursuit of Cobra or sometime in the future? How about the Oktober Guard?

Any plans on releasing figures/ vehicles based on IDW's series as you did with DDP's Wraith and Kamakura?

In 2009 there were no plans to expand the range of SAF figures, this year has seen a growing interest in this range. Will this upsurge in interest in SAF figures change your plans?

With the popularity of the Joecon shads will we ever see these updated in 25th style?

How could we set up a european collectors club?

Due to the popularity of Joecon 2010 releases will we see new versions of old Red Shadow/Action Force vehicles like the Shadowtrak and Swordfish?

With exclusives like Action Force, the Red Shadows and now Sgt Slaughter being made solely for special events, we were wondering if rights and ownership are different for exclusive show events than mainstream mass releases. With Natalie Poole being released in only a few parts of Europe, was securing rights to this character hard to do for Joecon?

We at BFTB were simply overjoyed with the 2009 and 2010 convention exclusives. To have these Action Force characters reborn and integrated into the world of GI Joe is quite literally a dream come true, for which we can only thank you. However, it has come to light that some of the hardcore Joe fans have objected to you branching out beyond the "Real American Hero" franchise. Have you received any backlash for focusing upon international variants?

There's a fair bit of repetition there, I've amalgamated a few of the similar questions and cropped some of the longer ones:

* I've not read any IDW series. Please can somebody confirm that there are IDW-created characters in the comics, and provide me with some example names?

i don't think the backlash one should be included, it's not Hasbro's decision to make them, they're made by the collector's club and hasbro only give legal clearance. (as i understand it) so, Hasbro's not going to answer that.

I didn't get confirmation on the IDW creater-owned characters, nobody liked my backlash question and setting up a Club is most likely better done as a direct proposal.
